| Tiivistelmä: | This article reports on an experiment that explores the phenomenon of over-sensitivity of consumption to current income. The writers also investigate whether individuals correctly respond to their employment status. The findings suggest that subjects over-react. This over-sensitivity exists because economic agents differ in their ability to plan ahead and understand the process determining their employment status. |
